Own Data Platform vs Quorum OnQ comparison

"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."

"The solution is very cost effective."

"When it comes to recovering what you need from a backup, it's really easy. You just drill through the directory, find the file and the date that you want, and click to recover. You then pick the directory you want to save it in. Usually, it takes a minute or two and it's done. It's quick and easy."

"The change in the way that Quorum processes data has made a tremendous improvement in backup and replication times. While the familiar interface remains, the underpinnings have been finely tuned and the speed is incredible. My large Exchange Server went from 5- to 6-hour backups down to 22 minutes."

"It's easy to implement, easy to spin up, easily configurable, to drop-in appliances and network. There wasn't a lot of time needed to spin it up."

"Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery."

"It is a very scalable solution."

"Being able to spin up a machine in a sandbox is amazing because it allows us to test things that we otherwise would not be able to do."

"The biggest feature is being able to do a file recovery to the original server. That is extremely useful and has saved us a few times when we've had ransomware. In some of those cases, people's computers were locked down by viruses which spread to things they had access to, including server shares. But we were easily able to just restore to four hours prior, instead of a day or two or more ago."

"The anonymization feature can be improved."

"It feels to me like it's going to be a little bit more work than I originally anticipated when upgrading the appliance. I haven't done that yet so I can't speak from true experience, but I went through the project plan and it feels to me like there's quite a number of pieces and components and things that have to be done. Quorum is going to manage the rollout, but in starting the initial conversation there were a lot of unanswered questions"

"We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them."

"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."

"They need integration with other platforms."

"The cost could be reduced."

"Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."

"There seems to be a lack of technicians. Sometimes they are very busy and I don't hear back for a day or two. The technicians they have are great. They are fantastic, but it seems difficult, at times, to get in contact with anyone."

"There was a situation I faced in the past when I contacted the tool's support team, and it took them a while to respond."

"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."

"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."

"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."

"The initial expenditure for us was a little under $40,000 for the recent renewal. For the first three years after that, other than electricity, there's no cost. After that, their support contract has to be renewed annually. We spent close to $6,000, between the two offices, for support."

"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."

"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."

"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."

"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."
